Nice little tl;dr to open the article
>Internet provider Verizon has successfully defended the privacy of several subscribers who were accused of sharing copyrighted material on BitTorrent. The ISP refused to comply with a court-ordered subpoena obtained by book publisher John Wiley and Sons in one of their mass-BitTorrent lawsuits. Initially, Wiley responded to this move by asking the court to compel Verizon to cooperate, but this request and the subpoenas have now been withdrawn.
While it is encouraging to hear that Verizon is "successfully defending the privacy of several subscribers," they are still operating under "privacy by policy;" that is, your stuf is private because we say it is. I would sleep a lot more soundly at night if my ISP practiced privacy by design. That is to say, your data is private because it is end-to-end encrypted, and we literally do not have the data to leak to disgruntled publishers or law enforcement. For more, please read about the Calyx Institute, an Internet and telephone service provider that puts customer privacy first.
>...this is also a good reminder -- as they note in the Google blog post -- that if you run a website, you should absolutely sign up to use Google's Webmaster tools, which will quickly inform you when one of your URLs are targeted by such a takedown, allowing you to easily file a counternotice.
favorite album so far.
Also the protest videos are starting get uploaded to YT as well:
There are still problems, but you can take steps to stop data merchants from selling your data.
Also, Congressman Ed Markey has been pushing for a Congressional investigation and eventual regulation of the data broking industry.
Actually, this map seems to be more relevant : https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=214917285437566492834.0004bf01e005a41a2f7fa&msa=0&ll=51.096623,12.260742&spn=24.452056,67.631836 (more views, more protests, updated 1 hour ago)
> despite the PR campaign to smear it,
The whole community around truecrypt always seemed a bit odd, though -- with their not-quite-open-source license, no open standard disk formats with third party applications, and not a lot of transparency regarding who was working on it.
I much prefer the approach taken by the LibreCrypt project.
It's Open Soruce, and works on Windows, but uses the standard Linux LUKS architecture; which has been more vetted by third party security researchers than pretty any other full-disk encryption alternative (including bitlocker).
TL/DR: check out LibreCrypt for a project taking a better (more transparent) approach
I've heard of them before but never checked them out. Was in an interesting conversation with /u/D3ntonVanZan who gave me a list of pro-privacy search engines
> www.duckduckgo.com
> www.startingpage.com
> www.ixquick.com
> www.yippy.com
Also /u/technitrox recommends Startpage also doesn't record your IP or User Agent.
But in the end, you should be trying to cover your IP anyway via a VPN or Tor setup. And its important to keep looking for a search that offers https to counter anyone else logging your searches in the middle.
I was also thinking, maybe wikipedia didn't just destroy Britannica. Maybe they also destroyed a whole ecosystem of lone editor websites, a la internet 1996. There used to be a need to find which one of these lone websites really was the best. Now Wikipedia draws from the best and tends to rank at top of most searches anyway. So there's probably a lot of room to skip search now and just go straight to wikipedia?
You have complete control of your own computer. You know (to a certain extend) how it is configured and what has been done to it. That can't be said of most public computers. They could have software or hardware bugs or vulnerabilities that you are unaware of.
The only problem I can think of is your MAC address, but that can be changed easily as TyphonWind already pointed out. I'm assuming that you're going to use a run-off-the-mill bootable operation system on a USB stick. If you're going to use the operation system you're using now, you might expose more identifying information depending on the way you've configured it.
I'd recommend TAILS as your bootable operation system. You can download TAILS from https://tails.boum.org/ or, if you're using I2P, from http://tracker2.postman.i2p/index.php?view=TorrentDetail&id=18326
"An easy way for people to lrn 2 i2p is tails as i2p is built in and configured by default. This makes a live usb and external hard disk an easy option for the n00bs " - ancient chinese proverb
I would assume that this is over OpUTH.
People should note, as of yet, I've held back any ideological directive. I don't believe its my job to do that. I've only told people how the Reddit ecosystem works and how to efficiently participate. Its up to you to work out what is right and wrong.
I simply believe, if we get a larger hive participating at these key points, Reddit would be more in sync with its true heart.
I did also realize, the plan I laid out could just as easily be taken by our adversaries. Also by doing things as an open hivemind, we are obviously open to rats. But I also believe there is no point in fighting if we simply imitate our enemies. There are people who are doing things by secret groups and secret oaths. Fuck that. I don't want cliques. We will stay open and free. Even if it means our enemies can see everything. Because the upside is, anyone is free to feel like they can participate, and that is more important than anything.
I seek to be changed as much as I seek to change the world. I want to hear your voice and ideas as much as I want to express mine. This is what I believe Reddit and the wider internet is supposed to be about.
Also. Tor and the new account button are our friends here.
So ISP or higher can break anonymity through traffic analysis. Direct peers can also make educated guesses. This level of anonymity is acceptable for many purposes.
>> CJDNS provides this (cryptographic verification of layer 1 and 2 data). Your argument is in valid.

Seattle wireless, that one in Perth, the list (a few of these are still in planning) goes on and on.
ahh yes, it was pretty bad. Moxie even pointed to ipredator as an example..
but that was like a million internet years ago. IPredator now offers OpenVPN tunnels now.
tbh, i'm not really promoting ipredator or anything. Just happened to come across it and it's nice to see more than PrivateInternetAccess accepting btc.
(yea. nw. i got it)
>I can I've used Private Internet Access and had no problems with them. However, they are a US based company and as such subject to the patriot act and other warrants. So.. even with the best intentions, they might be forced into a bad spot.
I've also used them. They claim 0 logs, except for metadata about throughput. I'm sure they have payment transaction logs, which means that for better anonymity you want BTC or just plain old prepaid debit (old school and inconvenient as that is).
As far as wiretapping goes, I'm not sure how that would be possible on a NAT masquerading VPN, since the connecting client IP address is easily different every time (residential Internet access is usually DHCP based), and the ~~VPN hands connecting clients different Internet-routable IPs every time~~ service utilizes shared IPs so large groups of users using the service are using the same Internet-routable IP. So based on the first fact alone I would think it would be impossible to set up a wiretap within the VPN targeting a specific customer.
That said, I suppose ALL data could be recorded and looked at later, or certain IP segments could be recorded, but I'm pretty sure that would make for a really interesting court case. I'm not sure that falls under the domain of warrantless wiretapping at that point anyway.
hey wookiee42!! I'm happy to see your still fighting the good fight!! :)
I've started making a tl;dr list daily. So redditors can catch up if they missed anything. Its to help combat the problem of the quick news cycle and sub-reddit discovery inefficiency on reddit.
Ive always been a big believer groupsource hives always crush top down organizations; so i've made it a google doc that anyone can help me with. This is the kind of post I would like to cover, I've added it to today's tl;dr. But please have a look at it and tell me how user friendly it is for you to add anything. Then hopefully you can help me keep it updated with any news I might happen to miss :)

Just wanted to give you a little update. I've used some of your ideas, I crowdsourced this doc of activists who are fighting to save kids from institutional abuse. Great call on that. Can I ask you, is there a way to restore previous versions if someone were to wipe it out? I'm doing regular back ups but that's tedious.
I've been posting out in the wilds of reddit more, too. Actually had one get fairly big in /r/canada, that was great. I'll still be working on the petition and coming back to post about OpLiberation, but I thought I'd touch base. Thanks again for all your help & ideas!
I'd love to see a flyposting effort to reverse the very successful "file-sharing is theft" PR campaign.
"Copyright is theft"
- which it really is. It's the theft of the commons, which is getting more and more absurd as the first-sale doctrine withers away, along with physical media. There's gotta be a way to communicate that absurdity to people. Like with the latest used-mp3 store court case. I think it's intuitively understood by most people to some degree already.
edit - some ideas:
something showing how much Disney has scooped out of the public domain, just to lock it up forever in IP-jail
something to explain how the concept of copyright makes no sense without scarcity -- eg: the exclusive-license dogma without the first-sale doctrine would ban, for example, selling CD at a garage sale or letting a friend borrow a movie -- what happens when there's no more physical media?
busting the myth that copyright ever had anything to do with authorship rights (the law has a history in state censorship and distribution monopoly, not any of the "moral rights" brought up in the Berne convention, which aren't even on the books)
chart on the consolidation of media conglomerates to barely a handful which own literally everything except the internet (page 14)
pie charts on how bad musicians get screwed after signing on to record label (most make basically nothing on copyright)
>Things like this will really level the playing field internationally given a decade or two.
There are some nice stories coming out already.
But might be more interesting once we get more net access. I think we're still only at 2bn connected for now.
Without a significant amount of context? No, I do not agree with the phrase "nothing is free", at all. I think a successful society would offer UBI, covering the most basic food, shelter, security and healthcare - and eliminate all the rest of social supports and welfare. Such a stipend would NOT be taken from anyone, it would be available from the overwhelming bounty created by having an organized society that makes life simple and easy for everyone involved. The starting premise that everything is owned, and everything is for sale are incorrect.
You SHOULD be sick of people feeding off you. They are. It's endemic, and it destroying significant human potential. Human parasitism is one of the fundamental issues facing mankind. But it's not the poor people feeding off you, it's the rich, the banks, the "level 3" people who not only don't work or produce, not even just manage the work of others, but have become so rich people pay THEM for the "privilege" to have access to means or space, or capital to succeed themselves.
Try this:
Read this essay from 1932 https://web.archive.org/web/20130730091922/http://www.davemckay.co.uk/philosophy/russell/russell.php?name=in.praise.of.idleness The first pp is by someone recent, but the rest is by Bertrand Russel, a famous philosopher.
What are your thoughts on what he writes?
>Being nice doesn't pay. Unless you fake it.
Your right, it's not optimal to be super nice. However, it's also not optimal in the long run to be abusive. Power begs to balanced and the data mining industry might find itself over-regulated if Congress decides to go through a populist mood. This isn't over. The backlash is going to keep going and if it doesn't break through now, it will later.
It would would have been smarter for them to self regulate with some reasonable balance for consumer privacy and protection. Instead they went with legal T&Cs that basically said "all your data is ours and if your don't like it, bad luck".
I do also think in the long term, they need to start sharing these data silos. There are useful things you can do with data. It is powerful. But right now it's only being used to market better ads at us. There are apps and services consumers could benefit from that use our data but don't directly benefit consumerist marketing. This would start aligning consumers with the movement for more data. Right now it's basically just Us vs. Them, with little benefit for us.
I do also think; people shouldn't wait for do-not-track to save them. Fuck them, the whole profiling process depends on being able to link us to an IP or cookie. Using a VPN or Tor basically makes their profiling meaningless.
>These modified pages included a "script" tag in their HTML code which pointed to a remote IP address serving up the inconspicuously named "frame.php." Anyone visiting the page would automatically have their Web browser execute the script, which served up a crypted version of the malware installation tool TrojanDownloader:JS/SetSlice.
And that is why I think everyone should be using Tor; or at least using the no-script add on.

NYT ran a story as well:

It would be very wtf. There are much better candidates like Susan Rice, John Kerry or Jon Hunstman in the running.

I am quietly pleased though that Berman's association with SOPA is still poisoning his career. Hopefully, politicians will consider the long term costs to any associations they make with the MAFIAA. It does look like the internet will never forgive it's enemies ;)
Um just quickly, not really sure who these Safe Shephard guys are.. But you can take care of it yourself.
Also, this all hasn't gone unchallenged. Congressman Ed Markey has been pushing for a Congressional investigation and eventual regulation of the data broking industry.
their still pushing iran.
seems to working
In terms of support. I don't think they really had that much anyway...
If you wanna get someone from Windows, onto a Ubuntu/Windows dual-boot, then Auslogics Disk Defrag is the way to go.
Windows stores shit all over the drive, so if you got a laptop with only one hard disk partition, run that defrag app (windows own doesnt work, it gets stuck on system files, etc) then run Computer Management and shrink your primary partition, and create a second one for Ubuntu.
Then you can run wubi from windows and it will leave you with a nice easy start-up selection bootloader to choose which one you want.
Worth bearing in mind, you wont even have to log in to play Steam games in a year or so. Even hardcore gaming will be catered to in the FOSS world.
Nows the time to get in training noobies :)
You have to scroll through the whole article to find the link to the actual document, and even then the link is incorrect.
I've been wondering, has Reddit come on board DNT?
And, fuck this whole add privacy as an after-thought. Switch to a browser that was built privacy by design, evolve to Tor Browser Bundle.
I think we should consider maybe a daily war thread or something? Then everyone can post whatever they come across. Be easier to see who is working each day as well.
Um I also think it's safer if people set up a dummy account for their xposting across to r/politics. Tor is your friend.
Also found this thread interesting; but people are pushing it down
Firefox seems to not like this extension, but you can always install it from their own website: https://getadblock.com/
This is the real deal. Every other extension is an impostor or worse. And donate if you want to, it's a labor of love for this man.
Some time last year, NSA opened a patent attorney position inside the agency.
https://www.linkedin.com/jobs2/view/6165223
Not sure, but this might be a new full time position. If so, then NSA's patent filing is expected to increase.
ah, I see. I don't think you're going to see very many "direct download" type services anymore since they're all getting hammered by the MPAA. Torrenting on the other hand allows you to disseminate the risk somewhat because no one site has the data that's being downloaded, so they can't take it down. Bittorrent is not anonymous though, your IP Address is readily available to anyone that's active on the torrent you're downloading(/uploading). So the solution is to use a VPN type service to mask your location so the copyright holder don't know where to send their nasty emails. I use PopcornTime + Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN, this seems to work quite well. As an added side benefit PIA has servers all over the world, so you can get around the geolocation blocking that some sites use as well.

How much freedom are you willing to allow other people? This is the fundamental problem that makes people think that government is desirable.
This question of freedom is largely behind the different interpretations of economics. Am I free to be wealthy from an investment of capital? Am I free to avoid paying taxes? Are the workers entitled to means of production? Should egalitarianism be enforced by the state? If I am indigent, am I entitled to the means to persist?
>Economics is haunted by more fallacies than any other study known to man. This is no accident. The inherent difficulties of the subject would be great enough in any case, but they are multiplied a thousandfold by a factor that is insignificant in, say, physics, mathematics, or medicine-the special pleading of selfish interests. While every group has certain economic interests identical with those of all groups, every group has also, as we shall see, interests antagonistic to those of all other groups.

Good spot to remind people that there are global protests against the Surveillance State planned for the 20th of Oct.
Thanks for the input. I've ranked them by impact. I really feel people need to call into their reps office. We won't be able to pull millions on any petition by friday. But flooding them with calls will still feel overwhelming from their end. More so than just tallying signature / email counts.
Just so everyone knows. I've had a list of media contacts listed in the sidebar, so people can push whatever stories they feel are important beyond reddit...
Its a really short bill which is why I think its doable. Hold up, need to run through my news feeds and stuff. I'll help you.
You can find the text here:
I've thrown it up on google doc anyway, havn't formated, just cut n paste.
First thought is, what is the perfect word to switch cybersecurity for?
yea. i love the stuff there. :)
its a basic problem of reddit that sub reddit discovery is pretty random. So even great subs die, unless they happen to get hot at the very beginning. And not every sub can spam [/r/politics](/r/politics) everyday. Which is kinda the thinking behind R/evolutionReddit. I'm pretty sure you already know this :) this more for any new blood that might be reading this comment tree.
But you could help me out. Its hard for me to keep track of all the news, main subs and new subs. Feel free to xpost anything good from OpElectronicLeviathan here. Its not spamming. Giving activist subs a venue to push their posts is what this place is supposed to be about!.
Also I'm starting a new experiment and trying to groupsource my daily tl;dr Likewise, if you can help me build it by adding anything you find from OpElectronicLeviathan or elsewhere would be great!

Yea.. never heard of these guys before; but found cso to be reputable tech news source. i'm not running windows so havn't tried their beta so can't say how it really runs.
I did find a CNET article that goes into their background a bit more
The paste url is not the right one or it's been taken down.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a government honeypot kind of thing. Maybe in a couple weeks there will be a serious "cyber attack from Iran" that will give us a reason to bomb the hell out of them. If they are real people and not government I doubt they are extremists at the same level as taliban and what not. They are just pissed of muslim kids. The motives change depending on where you're reading the story. It's either because of the sanctionis, or because of the youtube video.
> You know it's funny. I've seen this a few times on RT, where they try to push the "oooo hackers" kind of line but the interviewees have tried to keep it rational
You can always find good information in the articles but it's like digging out dinosaur fossils, you gotta seep away all of the dirt.
>I'm quietly still very impressed with that Chinese outfit Edgewood.
These guys scare me. If anyone could beat us in making malware it would be China and Russia.
They are actually finding malware preinstalled in chinese computers.[link]
> I don't know what the US could do about that.
It's actually really easy to block Tor and i2p because it uses a specific type of traffic. You could take it a step further and wrap the packets in HTTP or something similar but if they did Deep packet inspection those wrapped packets would be easy to find.
Took a shot at political art... but realized I suck at art. If anyone wants to take a better shot, here's about $12,000 worth of paint
On steganography we have Skypemorph, which makes Tor traffic look like Skype traffic, and theres also obfsproxy which modifies the usual traffic between the user and the Tor bridge to disguise it as Tor traffic, not sure on the details of either, but there you go, further reading :P
thank you :) added.
edit: actually their ebooks list is interesting for any Noam Chomsky fans
Its a cool list but feels like it should be alot bigger....
I did email them suggesting Falkvinge's ebook
https://twitter.com/#!/AnonymousIRC
they describe themselves as
>We are #Anonymous. We are the #Antisec embassy. Sailing the seven proxeas with our humble fleet.
Their pulling 276,942 followers on twitter, so whatever the case, their one of the stronger voices in Anonymous. In anycase, being anonymous doesn't really have anything to do with how many followers you have anyway.
This might turn out to be a good thing. Its not soo extreme in terms of the things the more .. aggressive.. side of anonymous could have done. But given the way it looks like anonymous is about to be blanket attacked by NSA/FBI. It might not be a strategically bad thing to start seeing some more defined splinters and sub groupings occur. Anonymous has grown quite fast in the last year and there are lots of differing goals and desires.
Your starting to see it happen naturally as OPs come up with their own unique badges. You might see this turn into more solid demarcation soon.
It gives up some of the decentralized craziness, which is a big deal, but it gives you the ability to control an identity both internally and externally which is becoming a need.. You can do this by having an official tumbler/twitter/fb whatever for each anonymous flag/chapter; eventually people will realize that one chapter can't speak or reflect on another. Just an idea.
the danger of MLK wasn't as OBL type, everybodies hijack a plane and go to heaven because I hear it's awesome. MLK was dangerous in being one of the most effective black leaders of his generation. He inspired a peoples to take political action even though it might have seemed hopeless. People like that are very dangerous.
(side story: Lenin was famous for being a dangerous mind virus as well. Such that when he had to go to Berlin to sign a peace treaty with the Germans, they built a special carriage with no windows and only the German chancellor could open the door. There was a fear that the man would speak to some Germans and cause a revolution in Germany, just by talking to people with any working class roots)
>Although, unless a group is preaching violence then the actions of a few misguided individuals should not make it ok to label everyone in that group terrorists.
this is standard fare. Look at the recent mess in the middle east over that retarded YT video. The producer in no way represents Americans. Likewise, from what I can see there have been lots of calls for calm from Arab leaders and more moderate elements of their society. Actually it looks to have been roundly condemned by the Arab world as pretty embarrassing on their part. But that doesn't make our news. So we both see the worst of each other and assume they represent the whole.
>Just as water runs downhill, the human heart also tends to revert to its basest instincts. GITS: SAC
well nothing is 100%. But the ISP has nothing to give the MAFIAA. All they see is that you connect to a VPN and unless they do something naughty, the traffic is encrypted so can't tell if your pirating or w.e. Also, if they try to just monitor the swarms, they can still only see the IP address that the VPN gives. So they can't trace it back your US ISP.
Should be good.
Its pretty easy. Its just setting up the VPN tunnel after you connect to your regular ISP or w.e. Basically its like connecting to two ISPs before surfing.
edit: This might give you a better idea of whats involved. Nothing crazy.
Looks like theres never been a better time to try out i2p and anonymous torrenting.
Download https://tails.boum.org/ - fire up i2psnark - get busy supporting the darknet alternatives to the ever-sieged clearnet equivalents.
No excuse for not seeding with i2p!
okay. so if your lucky you can just stick it in, restart/turn on and see if it works. If it doesn't, it's because the BIOS which is like the OS underneath which Windows or w.e is built upon has it's boot order set to load the usual OS first. So what you need to do is get into the bios configuration before any OS starts and configure it boot from USB first.
You might find that BIOS is password protected, but I'm often surprised how many are not.
I would suggest, you just play on your own laptop first. I would suggest starting with Tails which is useful to have on USB anyway.
sorry for the delayed reply! Only just noticed there was a comment here.
So you need to download the Tor Browser Bundle, after you download and unpack, you should find a start-tor-browser executable file somewhere. It should be good to run straight away.
There are some links on the side if you need more help. Check out the Cleaned Hidden Wiki once you get it going.
Never heard of it.
We run https://www.givero.com which is a new search engine that shares its revenue with good causes of your choice. We also value your privacy, so check it out?

Not open source yet according to the guy who made it, but within the next couple of months. (paraphrasing here) (webrtc is open source as far as I know)
I havn't used BTGuard myself; but they seem to have a good reputation and claim not to keep logs.
So I think you should be safe. But with a lot of this anonymity stuff; it's more a game of being aware where the weak spots are and it is quite difficult to be completely anonymous. But it would be unusual for BTGuard to give you up for just an accusation of copyright infringement. Normally when a VPN gives people up, it's due to a court order concerning homeland security or something.
It would be a really aggressive move to ban VPNs. Their widely used by businesses as much as privacy activists. Not sure how their going to get companies to be okay with unsecured communications.
In anycase, the graduated response is going to be hitting us soon, so if you don't want to get hit then you really should get a VPN now.
- Which VPN Providers Really Take Anonymity Seriously?
I'm actually with IPredator, who only cost € 15 for 3 months. I do prefer just using a VPN to using Tor. Its just alot faster. Just keep in mind that, VPNs can still end up giving up your information, so don't think of it as a complete solution. Just something that makes it harder for your ISP and government to track and profile you.
Yet another cretin who has not read anywhere near enough Chomsky to know a thing about him. Chomsky is one of the most hopeful activists one can image. This "author" strawmans like his life depends upon it.
